What is the best way to remove film from clear glass dishes?

Dishes have been washed in dishwasher and over a period of time have developed a film, I have tried everything I know. Please help!|||have you tried alcohol?|||in the past, i dealt in antique glass and collectibles. when purchasing very old or very well used clear drinking glasses, sometimes they had a white film that wouldnt budge no matter how many times i scrubbed with (nondamaging) cleansers or elbow grease. this film was easily removed with an acid-type cleaner called "whink" rust and stain remover. but BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL!!! its harmful to the skin, and can burn you. place a teaspoon or two (depending on the size of the container, and swirl it around all the surfaces of the interior of the glass. this eats away the filmy substance, and the glasses come out crystal clear like new!! this amount can be reused in another container, just pour it into the next one to be cleaned... and remember, LOVE THE EARTH, and dispose of the whink properly...

How do you become a film director?

Hi!


As you can probably already tell I really want to be a film director. Like A BIG film director :) (And I live in Aus if that helps)


So I was just wondering, how you do that? I hear that you need to be well-connected, but if you don't have relatives or friends in high places in the film industry, then how do you get well-connected?





Thank you!|||It helps to go to film school. There are several books that will help you learn about some basic things, lighting, framing the shot, editing. A lot of today's big name directors and actors got their start working for Roger Corman, often in fairly unimportant roles. Start of as a gofer and after a while you've worked your way up the ladder.


But they didn't work their way up because they were tight with Corman. They worked their way up because Corman's greatest talent was an ability to spot talent.


Steven Spielberg started making films when he was still a child.


Get yourself a camera. If it was good enough for him....|||Get a camera, actors. Tell actors what to do, film it. If somebody likes your film, they'll buy it.

What category does film and media fit into?

If I'm looking at universities and trying to find information on their film and media classes, (think film making), then what department should I be looking under?|||Different schools call it different things -- film studies, radio/tv/film, media studies, etc. But if you want to actually be making films -- doing camera work, studying lighting and cinematography, etc. -- make sure the schools you're applying to actually offer that kind of major. Some schools focus more on film history and criticism rather than practical film-making.|||Arts and Media you almost answered your own question.

What are some good books to begin learning about film studies?

I have very little knowledge about film studies, but I would like to begin learning more about film and film making. Please include suggestions for books or text books which give the basics on film studies and film making.


Thanks.|||go on the GCSE webistes, they give alot of detail on the basics and will refer you to good sites and books

How can I contact a producer or film company with a business idea?

I have a serivce for the film industry but I don't know how to connect with a producer. How can I get an email or contact information?|||You have to cold call people until someone will meet with you. Get an attorney though and have anyone you talk to sign a waiver - if it's a good idea, it will be stolen if you don't protect yourself.





There are directories for the industry - purchase one or go online. LA411 and NY411 are popular.|||It depends on what you mean by "a service for the film industry". Depends on what kind of service you have in mind. Most film companies and producers are not going to deal with you unless and until you have a business address and a name. If you are just starting up, they are not going to invest in any business without a track record, unless you have some product or technology for which they have an immediate need.





Film companies are producing films or TV shows--not any other thing. If you have a business idea, then that is going to require someone with enough support and money, you should become knowledgeable about VC's (venture capitalists), to invest in start-up businesses. You need to have a business plan, and some real expertise in presenting these ideas to others (after perfecting and protecting them legally.)





Show business and its film branches are big business. BUt there are a lot of sharks out there. Beware. and...Good luck.

What are some good colleges for a film making major?

I want to major in film making in college, with a minor of either Film Studies or psychology (I know it sounds random, but these are my main interests). In looking for colleges, both online and at college fairs, I'm having trouble finding schools that offer film making as a major, and, once I find them, telling if they're any good. I live very close to Atlanta, Georgia, but out-of-state recommendations are welcome as well. Does anybody have any recommendations for good, reputable film schools?|||Generally, the best film schools in the US are considered: OSU, Boston University, California Institute of the Arts, Columbia University, Florida State University, New York University, San Francisco State University, Temple University, the University of Texas, the University of Southern California and the University of California, Los Angeles. I omitted AFI because you are not a graduate student yet.

What non-typical film should I review for Humanities class?

I need to review a film for Humanities class. I am not looking to review the typical pop-culture film. I would like something non-traditional or unexpected. However I have been looking online for hours and cant come up with much.


Example of what I am not looking for is: 300, Chronicles of Narnia, Star Wars, No Country for Old Men


Thank You.|||Does it have to be a newer film? What particularly do you have to discuss in your review? (might give a better clue on what type of movie you should look for.) ...Are you looking for a purely artistic film, or a plot-driven one, with suspense or an "interesting" story? A philosophical film? A character-driven drama? A film with a social message or cultural significance? ... you have many different options here.





Here are some completely random suggestions of films I've enjoyed:





The Double Life of Veronique


http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101765/


There's so much you can discuss about this one, as it's full of meaning and subtlety. It's also one of the most beautiful films ever. The plot concerns two women who aren't aware of each other's existence, yet seem to be doubles, and deals with questions on identity, intuition, love, mystery, and so much more.





Alice in the Cities


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_in_th鈥?/a>


A simple but very effective and sensitive film about a reluctant friendship that springs up between a "lost" writer and an abandoned little girl.





Picnic at Hanging Rock


http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073540/


Unsettling film essentially about the unknown and how horrifying that unknown is... This film builds up, and builds up hypnotically - eerie and dream-like.





Stalker


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalker_(fi鈥?/a>


Philosophically dense; one of the most deeply thought-provoking science fiction films.





More films providing lots to discuss about:





After Life


http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0165078/





The Elephant Man


http://www .imdb. com/title/tt0080678/





Cria Cuervos


http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074360/
